@'Henry Berkwood'
24 | UCMB | Ravenclaw Class of '86 | Potioneer & Researcher | 7Hey. Hey you. Do you like eccentric academic types? Do you have a weird problem and are you willing to try experimental
drugs potions to fix it? Then have I got the man for you! Harry here is just Doing His Best™--a little eccentric, a lot absent-minded, and singularly focused on his ultimate, lifelong goal of being the Greatest Potioneer to Ever Live. He's generally affable, if distracted. He needs friends. And people willing (desperate?) to try his experiments. It's
fine he tests them all on himself first before he let's anyone else try them.
@'Lucy Tatting'
11 | MCHB | ??? Class of '99 | First Year | 9Lucy has already got her life figured out, thank you very much. She knows exactly what she wants out of life, and doesn't see anyway that's going to change. So, you know, that's probably fine. She can often be found around her family's shop, and she's bound for Hogwarts in September, so she's open for firstie things and/or interactions with people who'd be around the shop.
This is: Steph Only Knows How To Play Characters With Hyperfixations, apparently.
So, uh, my academic types are all a little...
dark, but we have:
- Persephone here who would chew him up and spit him out.
- , who would learn all she can from him (#Potions Nerd) before...chewing him up and spitting him out
- who is big into charms and inventing but also a rake
For more levity,
could interview him about poisons (for completely innocent reasons, she assures you!) and
is a private physician which is fabulous to have if you accidentally poison yourself in your research <3
My best bets for your are for all of your potion ingredient needs, she was a Ravenclaw a couple years behind him, but also a natural at potions. Her family owns the local florist!
I also think he's 's age but Holden has a lot going on, mainly he's been obliviated and doesn't remember an nudging about his past life xD they may have been friends back in school? Good be a place to test don't potions out?
So happy to see you back!
Please meet
! Very academic type and liable to humblebrag about her 5 Os on NEWTs. Kind of like the curious cat who may or may not die one day from her experiments, most recent accomplishment being to turn a
criminal man into a dog.
Her probability to scheme/be friends is high if they get discuss any research projects. Reasons to meet- her family (unplayed) owns Chang Imports of the Orient, a flourishing herbs/ingredients biz that stocks up a number of exotic ingredients in of potions closets in Hogsmeade & Hogwarts, & she occasionally helps with the business. Or at society parties I'm sure (her friends are scheming with ways for Ida to 'marry up' so she's going to be at a few events).
can work any soiree that needs an accomplished mixologist, or, he and his friend head up a private investigations business should Henry ever have the need for ~discreetly finding out something.
Finally have
and
for random encounters that can range from theatrical performances to the casual run-in with the law.
My brain is in "Friday Afternoon Fog" mode, so bear with me, lol.
I find the idea of Harry interacting with someone who'd chew him up and spit him out very funny, tbh, but also he likes teaching people what he knows, so a thread with Idunn might be interesting on both counts. XD Also my next immediate thought is that I would love to thread Harry/Wynstan, because the likelihood of Harry accidentally poisoning himself is high.
Oooh, Holden immediately piqued my interest. XD Harry's like "I don't know that there's anything I can do for this, but I am absolutely willing to try."
I think Harry/Ida would be interesting! Harry is always in the market for new things to stick in his potions, and more than happy to talk to someone about his projects.
I've got Agrimony here! He is...an interesting person to say the least, and quite paranoid, but likes experimenting in a darker variety of objects. I'd be interested in seeing how he and Henry got on! Feel free to hit me up on Discord if you'd like to chat more :D
I need all things imaginable for Holden if we want to start something! He's staying at the Three Broomsticks!
Oooh I don't know how this would go, but throwing them together would be interesting!
Cool! I can start a thread for them!
Hey Steph!
I have who has a fascination with the dark arts, and is trying to teach herself dark spells for the purpose of being a force to be reckoned with. Hexes, curses, jinxes, she wants to learn them all. She's pretty mean and blunt, but I feel like they have a potential to be somewhat friends? She'd be willing to test out potions if he'd be willing to be her guinea pig for new spells she's learned. Whoops.
is the criminalperson Ida turns into a dog, above. Desperate? Yes. He's on the lower end of WC and well... he'll do anything for money. He's very rough, brash and rude to well... everyone. (He has a solid one friend, if that's any indication of what kind of person he is.) He's also a year younger than Henry so there's a slight potential they could have known each other at Hogwarts, although his last year was '85 because he couldn't afford anything past OWLs.
is a Potion & Plant Healer at St. Mungo's for any potion mishaps.

I'm up for giving them a try! I forgot I also have
who I believe graduated class of '83. He's potions adjacent (medi-wizard) who also happens to be gay. I imagine if Henry's ever had an accident, these two may have bumped into each other.
Lmk what you think about the above and if you'd like to start a Henry/Agrimony or if you'd like me to! Or if you'd prefer Henry/Sebastian, either is good with me
Omg Stephhhh! V glad to have you back <333
I have far too many characters, but some options...
was his dormmate in Ravenclaw! I can't remember if we ever established anything with them back at Hogwarts but I could see them being friendly?
is in Potion and Plant Poisoning (at Hogsmeade hospital), probably thinks Harry should TAKE BETTER CARE OF HIMSELF and stop drinking experimental solutions, please.
is a fairly nerdy healer and was a Gryffindor in the year below him!
is Idunn's eccentric father, also into experiments of a kind.
is a foreigner and a Seer and is also privately aware he is dying, and could probably be tempted into signing up for some experimental test subjecting for interesting potions because ~yolo, it can't make things any worse?
doesn't have any weird problems of his own but would probably still sign up to try some weird shit for cash during the summers. Or for free, actually. For the bragging rights. xD
Clifford/Harry would be interesting! I thought about Juniper/Harry, and then remembered Harry flunked his DADA OWL on purpose, so I don't know that he'd willingly let someone test hexes/jinxes/etc. on him. XD But any good scientist knows you need a bigger sample size than just yourself, so Clifford/Harry would definitely work! '
Let's do Sebastian/Harry! I can easily imagine accidents for Harry to get into, lol.
I can start threads for these! <3
ETA: I didn't refresh the page. XD Oops!
"Harry should take better care of himself" made me laugh out loud, because he is a disaster, lmao. I also can't remember if we ever established anything with Theodore/Harry, but I also think they'd probably be friendly! Also I'm intrigued by Savino. Harry's interested in healing in a general if-he-had-to-pick-a-Potioneering-discipline kind of way.

I play the DADA professor right now and he's dying at this thought xD But yes! Cliff is a riot and I'm so sorry for his actions already lol. But yes<3 a thread would be wonderful.

All sounds good, I am game for whatever kind of thread takes your fancy! Would Harry advertise his Potions services omewhere? If so Savino could definitely seek him out for some unorthodox medical remedy, he is very much not interested in going to the hospital xD
Yes, he would advertise his services! I had the vague idea that Harry's renting a space somewhere in London to use as a lab. Because he lives with muggles and that's most viable. But I'd be very down for fic with Harry & Savino!
